GHAIMBER-POT.

Patented Nov. 17, 1908.

Serial No. 412,004.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SERENO D. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chamber-Pots, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to chamber-pots for analytical purposes, and the object of the invention is to provide a vessel of this character adapted for the use of females, provided with a centrally arranged partition projecting above the surface of the vessel and being constructed and arranged so as to particularly adapt itself to the anatomy of the user to direct the urine into one of the compartments of the vessel while the fecal matter is deposited in the opposite compartment, thus effectively separating the urine from the fecal matter and permitting analysis of the separate matters.

With the above object in view the invention resides in the novel construction of chamber-pots for analytical purposes, hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a perspective view of a chamber-pot constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same transverse to the partition therein and Fig. 3 is a sectional longitudinal View of the partition herein.

In the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1, designates a chamber-pot of an ordinary construction having a handle 2 and a rolled rim 3.

Centrally positioned across the interior of the vessel and preferably formed integral therewith is a vertical partition 4, of a thickness approximately equaling that of the walls of the vessel, and which divides the vessel into two compartments or chambers 5 and 6. The central portion of the partition 4 is extended a suitable distance upwardly above the rim of the chamber-pot and is rounded as at 7 and is continued in a curved slope 8 from each end of the rounded portion 7, to the rim at the interior of the vessel. By constructing the partition 4, in the manner just described it will readily adjust itself in position between the legs of the user at the crotch and between the anus and the vagina and will effectively direct the urine into one of the compartments without danger of contacting the fecal matter deposited within the other compartment of the vessel, thus effectively depositing the separate matters into separate compartments whereby each matter may be analyzed separate from the other.

I am aware that vessels of this character having a partition have been produced, but the partitions of these vessels have been so constructed and arranged that the urine and the fecal matter have become mixed while being deposited, and an accurate analysis of the two matters thus seriously interfered with, whilev with my construction the partition is constructed so as to conform with the anatomy of the user and directs the flow of the urine, without danger of its contacting the fecal matter.

That I claim is A chamber pot for analytical purposes having a partition whereby the pot is divided into two compartments, the center of the partition being extended above the rim of the pot and being rounded and extended on each side in a downwardly curved slope to the rim of the vessel.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SERENO D. ALLEN.
